Cornish Folk Tales of Place: Traditional Stories from Mid and West Cornwall: Traditional Stories from Mid and West Cornwall

West Cornwall is a land of tin-mine strewn cliffs and safe south harbours, with all the bustle of ships, fishing boats, gigs, industry, and tourists. The beaches are blessed with stretching sands, and tempting surf, stunning caves and rock formations, a sea lido, and a theatre beside the ocean. Along the cliffs lurk grumpy giants, playful piskeys and hungry dragons. The middle of Cornwall is clay country and farming. In the towns live wise women, dashing devils, strong wrestlers and fearless hurlers. Beware hissing spriggins, seducing sea women and restless ghosts. Let your imagination play with the spirit of this wonderful land and immerse your mind in the stories within it. Capturing the magic of Cornwall, folklore writer Anna Chorlton retells its tales.
